Name: Artemisia arbuscula ssp. longicaulis - Grayia spinosa Shrubland
Reference: Western Ecology Working Group of...
Description: This shrubland association is characterized by codominance of Artemisia arbuscula ssp. longicaulis and Grayia spinosa. It has been observed on upper alluvial fans coming out of the Virginia Range on the east side of Reno, Nevada. The vegetation included abundant Bromus tectorum, which may be included in the association name to distinguish this from a similar, likely association with Elymus elymoides dominating a graminoid layer. Even in the degraded shrubland where this has been observed, mosses had substantial ground cover under and immediately surrounding many of the shrubs.
